What is the Secure LDAP client?
Solaris 8 native LDAP authentication did not offer any session or password encryption, which matched the Sun ONE Directory Server’s encrypted authentication algorithms. In the Solaris 9 OS, SASL/Digest-MD5 and SSL/TLS 1.0 have been added to allow for password or complete session encryption respectively. This allows a high degree of assurance in using LDAP as a naming service.
